Recording Memories

We all have a special possession that reminds us of something or someone, or that evokes a particular period of our lives. Choose a person other than yourself, and portray him or her with an object that tells us a story. There are no restrictions about type of camera, but post-production must be kept to a minimum.
It is important that the words you use give strength to your work rather than narrow its meaning. Thus, the title should be minimal and only descriptive, just the name of the person--and what the object is, if you wish. But as part of the challenge, I strongly encourage you to use your poetic talents in the description or notes, where you can speak more about the person, the object, and their stories.
